Area 51: The Musical

Friday, June 19th, 2009

For the third successive year the talented performing arts students from Gt. Yarmouth College return to the 1,000 seat Hippodrome with their end of year musical theatre production.

Following their acclaimed performances of ‘We Will Rock You’ (2007) and ‘Disco Inferno’ (2008) they will be proudly presenting the East Anglian premiere of the award-winning sci-fi rock musical Area 51 by Daniel O’Brien.

PLOT: In the depths of space, a monstrous evil has awoken. An evil so powerful that its influence can reach beyond the stars. That evil finds a home in Area 51, the world’s largest, and most secret, military complex. In a race against time, Rick Adams, head of the base’s top secret scientific research facility, must find a way to halt the alien invasion before all of humanity succumbs to the extraterrestrial onslaught.

The aliens have landed – are you prepared?

The production is an action-packed enjoyable musical perfect for the young and old. Full of comedy, rock music, energetic song and dance routines, pyrotechnics and special effects galore. These talented youngsters have a reputation for producing high quality and entertaining productions and Area 51 promises more of the same.

Area 51, 7.30pm 19 and 20 June, Hippodrome Circus Theatre, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk NR30 2EU. Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for concessions. For more details and to book tickets visit the Hippodrome website.
